O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention,
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
. . . or may we cram
Within this wooden O the very casques
That did affright the air at Agincourt? (Prologue)

Once more into the breach, dear friends, oncemore;
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favor'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect. (III,i)

Whose limbs were made in England, show us here

Come, your answer in broken music; for
thy voice is music and thy English broken.
